They spawn periodically on no real schedule. The first few seasons it was once per 24 hour period, this season they spawned 4x the first 24 hour period, and have only done so once for the second period.

when are the 89s and 100s coming back . one day spawn is total crap some of us free game players have to work for a living and didn't have much time to get much bounty completed yesterday.

The jackpot targets have spawned a total of 4 times that I know of. Will they spawn again, that is unknown at this time. Looking at the global points, it looks like they aren't needed. But speaking for myself, I'd like to see them again.

Calling players lazy for compensating and adjusting within the game mechanics is a cop out on your part. Good high end players for the most part have always kept all but the best hitters out. and when they get broken they/we have adjusted. you make it sound like it's a simple matter of oh, throw a few fire support in and she'll be right. That may be the case now but until recently has not been. kixeye would be better off looking at what they have thrown in techwise in the last coupla month and accounting for that

all they need to do is cap the Fuel Air Munitions and Fire Support 2 aura's that can be stacked and viola the problem solved

yes I have pushed for that to be fixed as it is the most simplest way to fix the issue that does not lead to even more power creep.

Its a shame that people are disliking your post. I think your idea is by far the best way to fix it. It will allow kixeye to finally balance the conquerors and turrets they release.

It is because they got lazy and found an easy way to defend their bases from everything. I do not fault them for it, but they are not helping the game by crying about not being able to break bases and then fight against the cause of that problem.

That or they are not being honest with themselves or others on why base hitting/defense is broke right now.

If this is ever fixed I think it will lead to a gigantic meltdown on the forums. The alternative is to put out conqueror hulls with explosive deflection in the millions and then they will negate the latest defenders. The cycle needs to be broken and they need to just fix the underlying cause of the problem. That cause is the FAM2/FS2 spam.

not even the idea of a conq with exp deflection in the millions would work have you tried to take a base with a png glut guard? this guard alone will level any attacking fleet you dont need a base with any of the new turrets when using that setup. I think that there are more than just one or two aspects of the game that are severely broken, massive explosive damage from the morts are just the one currently most noticeable fix that and the next poor idea will stand up tall.

Here is my view on Bounty. I hardly hit bases but get hit a lot oh well. As long as u get secured they cant get crap for points. Is my base good to a curtain extint. Every 800 and 1000 points helps out a lot each time or pre 24 hrs. I also spend time doing the 86s. I scrape by for some lower prizes but all free.

Now saying this I am not sticking up for Kixeye and their MODs nor CS due to i have been screwed over by them all cause NOTHING is ever their fault and I have to run tests on my own system alot just to have them tell me its my fault when 1000s of other players have same issues during events only.

This game started falling apart when kixeye came out with limited hulls, weapons, armors, specials, etc.... I believe limited stuff is dumb and shows they r all about greed. I liked when u earned very hard prints and could use them how ever many times needed. Not keep earning points for same print over and over. I understand they did it when Proto Nemi started and was unbeatable but they should of left the limited to it and Hellstar etc.

I think during bounty to make it balanced a bit is put a cap on levels who hit curtain levels. Maybe do a 5 to 10 lvl difference not a lvl 50 get hit by a lvl 129 etc. Make it fair for Lowers to grow cause they are the next money makers once higher lvls quit and retire. This will also help the dead base factor in this game. Either do this or do a massive game clean up of all unactive bases that sit dead forever.

Why have there been NO jackpot targets in the past 24hrs, but in the first 24hr you/we had 4 spawn times???!! I thought this was going to be the Normal for the entire bounty run this time, since bases are not doable even on the mid level if they have just a few items like the new cannon on OP.. WHERE are the JACKPOTS???!!!

Normal is one spawn per 24 hour period. There was a spawn about 7 hours ago. There were more spawns in the first 36 hours of Season 5 as than in all of Season 2, 3 or 4.

bounty is broke and kix cant see it.first top end players know they cant get in each others bases. so they have to hunt farms. but the farms only reach a certian lvl of points which is quickly passed by the top players leaving them no targets to hit. also every new bounty their are less and less farms joining. because they get hit every 4 hours thus stopping research and structer builds and leaving them with a dead dock for 3 out of 4 hours so they can only play for 1 without investing a large amount of coin over event just to beable to play with no hope of claiming the good prizes. and now we have nexus this would have been a great thing but the way it is their is about 5 allis that will hold all the nexuses locking out 99 percent of the players from them. we know that many players have offered great ideas to fix these problems but kix is unwilling to listen so in the end this will fall by the wayside like the arena did.

Yep I'm done with the bs one sided event as usual' Guess ill just play WOWS for a few days then come back and dabble some more in this joke of a game

Agreed fleets that one or two weeks ago could get in good bases now they cant ...simple really if you cant get in bases =no bounty =no hull = no hull to coin = no coin for kix and that does not even take into the amount of seat time required ...need more jackpot to spawn if you want people to win the enough to get the hull ...so far i see no reason to waste my coin on this bounty ...

the only coining ive done has been to get to jackpots before someone else does....therefore they need more jackpots for coins

G'day all just a issue i want to bring up, well the first day i heard we had 4-5 Jackpot spawns which set a lot of people up to win all the prizes, second day we've had 1 small spawn, now a lot of people missed the first day Jackpot spawns and the spawn times did not benefit people in australia and the UK on the first day , so only resort we have now is to hit bases but hey we have not got the fleets to hit good bases for bounty, so kixeye has a event where u meant to hit bases but we can't, this bounty is a major stuff up and kixeye needs to spawn more jackpot targets to reward player's from all over the world not just the americans and the people who sit on the game for 15 plus hour's each day, if kixeye want's to turn people away from the game they are sure doing a great job. Well rant over i hope this can be passed on to the developers or whoever and fix the jackpot spawn rates for the people who missed out, happy hunting pirates KEEGAN

i have never seen a 100 am in the uk i think its very unfair that these dam targets only respawn on a usa time not even thinking on other players in other time zones even the last bounty i never saw a 100 targets come on kix think of other players not on your time line please

Couldn't agree more. I complained about the same thing the last two Bounties. Got a slightly better result in the last one, but still a huge disadvantage to those not on the US timeline. I'm about over trying to do this event when I feel like we Aussies (and others on our timeline) are being screwed over event after event. Wakey, wakey devs ... your customer base is bigger than just the US players.

I thought also this was a PVP-event. But again, we are just hitting map targets for the points. This time the reason is that every base that has extra bounty, is equipped with 1 cannon that kills every surface ship in the game.

I just came from few months absence, noticed new thing "bounty hunt" joined in and guess what ?? My base is fking flat every 4hrs !!! Can't even repair docks so i can't play during this new kind of dumb event and there is no fking "quit bounty hunt" button so i am going offline for next 2 days till this nightmare will end -_-.BTW i payed 10$ for this Fury offer and this crap conqueror type fleet is dying in every base and can't be used anywhere else except base hitting - i am not satisfied so please some mod tell me how gett refund.Comming back to BattlePirates was great mistake, Kix policy of destroying players fun not changed so it's noticable the number of players greatly decreased, no wonder why.

This Bounty is a failure its about hitting bases but the ballance is so far off nobody can get into a half decent base.Kix did 3 Jackpot spawns in the first day to wet everyones appetite but that was another failure.End this Bounty crap because it aint working or spawn more Jacpots targets for the folks in OZ and the UK and make it at least a even playing field.

I noticed last bounty and this bounty again the spawning of the lvl 100 bandits are mostly happening in usa daytime so this means in europe we always mis this since its in the middle of the nite for us kix really need to adjust this in a more normal time rate for every one or do a double spawn basehitting is fcked so this is the only way to gather bounty points to collect all prizes.

yea i have seen 0 100s today.. they saying it spawn one time when i was at work but they went fast.. kinda funny people that siting in number 1 spot i have never seen hit a base before in sector they got all there points from 100s the first day.. must be nice to be able to sit in game 15 hours a day and get the 100s when they spawn.. but some people have a job and cant do that...
